Rescue and Retribution

Chapter: "Rescue and Retribution"

As Ryu descended into the depths of Jerak's fortress, his senses sharp and his resolve unwavering, he was met with a terrifying sight. The elf children, trapped within sinister magic circles, writhed in agony as their life force was drained away.

Ryu wasted no time. With a surge of power, he unleashed a torrent of magic, his energy dominated the dark enchantments binding the children. The magic circles shattered like glass, their hold broken, and the children were free.

Ryu lifted the children from the ground, their eyes wide with wonder and gratitude. As he led them out of the fortress, their small bodies shaking with exhaustion, he tried to keep them safe, to return them to the safety of their village.

Back in the village of the elves, Ryu's arrival was met with cheers and gratitude. The elders offered him rewards and praise, eager to honor the hero who had saved their children from a fate worse than death.

But Ryu refused their offerings, his gaze steely and his heart heavy with the weight of his mission. He had come not for glory or riches, but for justice, and his work was far from over.

Leaving the village behind, Ryu set his sights on his next target: the minister who had conspired with Jerak to commit crimes against innocent children. 

Ryu's footsteps echoed through the dimly lit corridors of the minister's jail, each step bringing him closer to his target. His eyes glinted with determination, his fists clenched with righteous anger.

As he reached the minister's cell, he found the man cowering in the corner, his eyes wide with fear.

Minister: "W-what do you want?"

Ryu's voice was cold and unforgiving as he stepped forward, his presence filling the cramped space with an aura of menace.

Ryu: "Your life."

With a swift motion, Ryu grabbed the bars of the cell and ripped them apart as if they were made of paper. The minister's screams filled the air as Ryu dragged him out into the open.

his hands gripping the minister's throat with unyielding force.

Minister: "P-please, spare me!"

Ryu's grip on the minister's throat tightened, his eyes burning with fury as he spoke.

Ryu: "You think you can act like you did nothing? You think you can hide behind your lies and your deceit?"

The minister's protests fell on deaf ears as Ryu unleashed his pent-up rage, his fists raining down on the man with brutal force. Blood spattered against the walls as Ryu's blows landed with sickening thuds.

Ryu: "Do not die yet. I know you are still alive"

Minister: "Let me go!"

Ryu: "I felt worse than these children because of people like you."

With each word, Ryu's rage burned brighter, his fists raining down on the minister with relentless fury. Blood pooled on the ground.

Ryu silenced the minister's cries forever. The cell fell silent, the only sound the ragged gasps of Ryu's breath as he stood over the lifeless body of his enemy.

With a final glance at the minister's corpse, Ryu turned and left the jail behind.

The Chief was observing Him With his Archers From Distance

Elf Archer: "Should we arrest him"

Elves Chief: "This Human is on another level, Seems like he had a rough childhood if we attack him he might possess a big threat."

Ryu leaves the Village behind.
